Speculation: Trade Rumors Part XI

[70sSanO]

I'm going to say that we get Lee Stempniak. IDK why just feels like a BM move.

I'm on board with Stempniak. I think his style fits right in with the Ducks. Put him on the line with Getzlaf and Perron and they will grind you up. And he doesn't need speed on that line. He's only at $850k. If we can get him cheap, he's the perfect pickup for BM.

Added... Maybe Stoner and we get Stempniak and a pick whenever and wherever.

I don't know who it will be, but I feel almost certain that it won't be anyone who has been consistently mentioned.

Stemp is a good pickup for most teams. Stoner has negative value since he has a couple years after this on his contract. If they were willing to take Stoner it would likely be more like Stoner + 2nd + decent prospect.

We would have to hold back salary. Those numbers don't match Stempniak's $850k and he is 33 and a UFA so there is no way you'd give a 2nd and a prospect for Stempniak who did a tryout earlier this season.

Ducks in a good place. Working the phones but don't feel compelled to make a deal. Only moving one of their young D if it's a slam dunk.

Stoner's not that bad. He's overpaid of course, but he's still a solid 6/7 NHL d-man. If Polak fetched a 2nd, Schultz the Jultz fetched a 3rd, and Jakub can't-crack-the-line-up-in-a-D-thin-Detroit-roster Kindl got a 6th round pick, someone would probably bite on Stoner for a low pick.

When I said a pick the pick would be coming the Ducks direction with Stempniak. I do agree that Stoner really isn't that bad and I think he takes abuse from the fans because his contract is making it tough to re-sign our RFA's. If Stoner was at $1.5m and Bieksa $2m people wouldn't be that upset, well I still don't like Bieksa at any $$$ because he takes shifts off that usually lead to a goal or a penalty.

I'm guessing that Murray is getting a lot of calls about them. I still think it's possible that we move one.

Yeah I agree. Sami's gotta be looking good to a bunch of teams.

So what was going through the collective heads of the Pittsburgh brain trust? "Hmm...MAF might not get lit up in the playoffs this year, what can we do to fix that?"

MAF due for new contract this summer?

so a 2nd round exit is acceptable
